Summer Programs
Are you looking for a summer camp for your child, but would like it
even better if it were a great educational experience too? We have the
activities you would find at summer camp - weekly swimming and field
trips, arts and crafts, sports and activities, and lots of fun - plus
learning experiences through computers, cooking, drama, games,
recreational reading, etc., so that it really is a complete summer
enrichment program!
There are two kinds of full-day summer programs. Our general "Discovery
Summer" enrichment program will have swimming, arts and crafts, team
sports, field trips, and various activities, like in previous years,
when we called it a "summer camp," but we're building up and
emphasizing the discovery and enrichment dimension more now. Click on
the link below for more details.
